No problem...

The problem with css (I may be wrong) is that CSS overrides html-based settings. At least with tables. So that if I disable borders in CSS I can't turn in on by border=1 in a page when I want to. Or vice versa. Probably the same with form input fields. And with forms there are likely going to be different size boxes you need on different pages. Depending on the input. So it should be flexible. Of course there's no reason you can't change the CSS if you want... We could put in code.snippet, like textboxcols: 50 and textboxrows: 10 and then put cols=$$textboxcols and rows=$textboxrows in the action forms. Nice idea, as a skin designer could then hijack those settings to something different in code.snippets.skin. We could do that perhaps. But what do you mean you are forced to edit the pages every time you update? Are you editing the barn/system pages? If you just edit them in the wiki, your local copies will always be used. So upgrades shouldn't affect anything. Not clear what you mean?
